Jpg image not loaded (nor resized)

General

This is not the first time this occured.

Back to the basics:

I add a window in a larger project to automatically resize to 250 px (larger) images files (choose source, folder, resize the sources images and save them in the destination folder).

Previously, when this is noticed, I simply load the file(s) in Preview and resize, save them from there.

Not today, I checked the image to see what is inside, and I do not found the .jpg magic tag (jfif), no magic tag at all.

I add that file below. BUT, I zipped it and WARN you to not load it if you are not sure / do not want to fall in a bad file (file with virus or whatever).

I do not know, and I never read something about that, so PRUDENCE.

This is the Get Info window for the image.

JPEG compressed files come in different flavors. There are JFIF files that start with FFD8FFE0 and then there are EXIF files starting with FFD8FFE1, such as your file, and both are valid JPEG files.

Once more, I learned something.

Thank you.
